The case was initiated by State Police after investigators received information that Evans was downloading child pornography, according to Trooper Melissa Matey, spokeswoman for the department.

State Police detectives executed a search warrant at Evans home, 430 West Ave., in September. They seized several computers.

A forensic analysis of the computers turned up images of children in sexually suggestive positions. The detectives then obtained an arrest warrant for Evans, Matey said.

Evans was booked Friday with one count of having pornography involving juveniles. Bond has not yet been set.
